work he has done on himself, that he deserves it more to have it than the other person), and also from origin (so he says, the other one is a country boy, while I come from a descent environment for example. He gives it as an example. Why does he have it as well as materially as socially, while I don’t… do you understand?), that according to the work that I have done to myself and from my origin, that it’s more suitable for me than for the other person, but in reality this person (who has a shortage) stands much steps lower on the ladder than the other, and that gives him great sorrow. לכ לע לכתסה ומצעב אוהש ,םעפ היהש ,רכוז אל אוה וליפאו ,תוינחורל תוכייש םוש זא ול ןיאו םיגאוד םה המ לע םהלש םירוסיה תא ,םתוא האור היהש ןמזבש ,הבישיהב םתיא דמלש ,םירבחה ןובשח תושעל םילוכי אלש ,םינטק םידלי ומכ ויניעב הארנ היה ,םייחהב תומילש ידיל עיגהל םעפו ,ףסכ אוה םייחה רקיע וניבה םעפ ,םיקקותשמ םה הזל ,תואור םהיניעש המ לכ אלא ,יתילכת םירבדב שממ אצמנ אוה וישכעו .המודכו ,םישנא ןיב דובכ לש הדמע לבקל אוה םייחה רקיע וניבה תוקת תומילש תא עבקי אוהש אלא ,םייחב םעט ול ןיאש שיגרמ אוה התעו ,םהמ קחוצ היהש .םייחה תרטמ ארקנ הזש ,ועבק םהש ,המרה התואב םייחה תולשו Line 43 – And he has absolutely no relationship with the spiritual (he feels within himself that he has absolutely nothing to do with the spiritual), and he doesn’t even remember that he worked on the spiritual and he looks at his friends with whom he had studied the spiritual (so he studied with them in the Talmud academy, he studied with them something about the spiritual) that in the time when he studied with diligence (that in that time when he looked at his friends) when they were suffering about the fact how to become successful in this life (that means that they were worrying about the earthly things, the friends with whom he had studied the spiritual were worrying about the material, about senseless things), that in that time (when his spiritual work was reviving, flourishing, he looked at his friends) as small children (in that time he looked at his friends as small children, because they only wanted success in this life. But he’s now in the state of shortage and he forgets the time in his life when he had a prospering life and when he looked at his friends and thought that they were small children, because they only worried about senseless material things. But he’s now in a state of shortage and darkness and he forgets this moments. Therefore he tells us to remember the good moments and that you understand that the state of shortage is only temporary and that it will change. The state of shortage is necessary and you’re maybe at that moment busy with a higher step and it only shines at you from the outside and hasn’t entered inside you yet. And it’s only a perception that you have a shortage, because the light hasn’t entered yet, then we 32
experience it as shining from outside and we look at others, he has this and that, because I haven’t brought my portion inside. When I receive my portion, then I won’t look at others. At such moments try to think of good moments that you had, don’t think of the past, but try to experience it. You have to live now, but call up the good in yourself if it helps you to get out of that sate you’re in. Only because you’re not capable of being in that state of darkness. And if you are capable of bearing the state of darkness, then you can also be in it. And you will see that both states are good for you, the state when you experience the light and the state when you’re in darkness. Both are good for you, but you have to learn that. Such a person is called a tsadik, a person who is called righteous, not that he justifies. A man can’t be righteous, a man can be in a state of justification of the operational system and such a person is called righteous. But we can’t call someone as righteous, it is also written ‘you mustn’t trust yourself till your dying day’. Which is written in the ‘Chapters of Fundamental principles or Ethics of the Fathers’, he was a great rabbi, a high priest, but it’s written in the Talmud that he turned his back to the Creator, after eighty years of learning Torah. This learns us that everything is possible. A man mustn’t trust himself. From one side you can say that this rabbi didn’t work good enough on himself, with all his intellect. While we don’t work with our mind in the spiritual and the longer we carry on, the more difficult it will become for us to sin. So listen carefully, you still have time to go back, because later you won’t have to power anymore to sin, do you understand what I mean. That is the result of it, of our study, while someone who learns Talmud and all kinds of others things still can sin. Why is it like this, because the Talmud and so are also holy? Because the Talmud and the regular Torah come from the world Briyah, Yetzirah, Assiyah and in those worlds are good and evil, kosher and not kosher, allowed and not allowed. While we try to make an effort to experience Atzilut. You can experience Atzilut only through Kabbalah, you can’t experience other things. The Talmud for example, you learn it for fifty years, but we’ve learned at the beginning of this lesson that Briyah, Yetzirah and Assiyah were as it were fallen outside… that is the second part, the part where klipot are, unclean powers. And therefore someone can study for so long, but it still can be a comedy, because he works with his head and understands it, but he doesn’t necessarily correct himself. He receives spiritual tingling, of course he also receives light, but it’s not comparable with what we do with the Kabbalah. We burn all the ships that we leave behind us, we always say that in the Kabbalah, you always go to a new island, far away from your previous island. And you always 33
